Procter & Gamble brands Vicks DayQuil and Vicks NyQuil last week kicked off its “Search for the Most Dedicated NFL Fan” — a new Facebook contest featuring two tickets to Super Bowl XLV as the top prize.

CVS/pharmacy has launched its new CVS Express Photo app, which enables Facebook users to order prints from their Facebook albums without leaving the website, with prints ready for pickup in about an hour at their local CVS/pharmacy.
